Default Pollution might cause obesity

Interesting info - some pollutants might be responsible for obesity.

Persistent pollutant may promote obesity | Science Blog

Kind of makes one wonder, doesn't it? How many of us have tried and tried and tried to lose, and have hit a brick wall, thinking it's our lack of willpower or something we are doing wrong, when it might quite possibly be partially due to our environment.

It sure doesn't give us cause to eat whatever we want with abandon - but it might answer some questions as to why some of us are having such a difficult time losing.

It's scary to think what kinds of chemicals we have in our bodies that our grandparents were never exposed to.
